Hi Ding3s,

Unfortunately poker platforms do not allow the retracking of existing accounts and do not allow multiple accounts to be set up.

As such you will unfortunately not be able to participate in the community freerolls etc, but check out the "Get selected by your community" part (top of the opening post of this thread) which doesn't require you to have a tracked account

Any problems or further clarification required, don't hesitate to shout.
